ATLEE v. BOARD OF SUP'RS OF WEXFORD COUNTY.

Supreme Court of Michigan

February 10, 1893

Petition by William S. Atlee for writ of certiorari directed to the board of supervisors of Wexford county to review its proceedings in relation to the attempted organization of Slagle township from a portion of the territory of Springville township. Dismissed.

Chittenden & Lamb, for petitioner.

HOOKER, C.J.

This cause comes to this court by certiorari to the board of supervisors of Wexford county to review the proceedings of said board in relation to the attempted organization of the township of Slagle from certain territory taken wholly from the township of Springville. The action complained of was taken by the board in June 1891, and no steps were taken to review it for about 14 months. Meantime, we infer, that officers had been elected and property assessed for taxation, as counsel ask that the tax rolls may be ordered into the hands of the officers of the township of Springville for collection. The case is within the principle laid down in the case of Fractional School Dist. v. Board of School Inspectors, 27 Mich. 3. Certiorari dismissed. The other justices concurred.
